You are moving around back and forth, some people start sweating faster than others, which can be off-putting to customers right there.

All it takes is 2 or 3 mistakes and you can be fired. For a very attractive woman, a group of men will probably let it slide, but typically not for anyone else.

Something as simple as forgetting to put XYZ sauce on the side is enough for a customer complaint, they get the order for free (sometimes for the entire party), boss gets mad, you're out.

There's lots of men on craigslist looking for "female only" roommates, they obviously want more than just roommates, but it's probably better than the streets for the time being. Rich foreign guys in LA oftentimes have no game or understanding of American culture and use this as one of their platforms to meet women.

Hello! she hasn't been back since she played her game almost a week ago. Apparently she spent a few hours having some Sat afternoon fun and then disappeared and you sound like you are defending her? She fits into the same catagory with the 18 year old about a week ago that was going to get kicked out by her mother and she was still in high school. She too wanted us to solve her problems. My, what great imaginations some of these posters have!!!

I don't think anyone is in a position to judge her circumstances and I personally don't find the level of sanctimonious collective enjoyment people get when addressing someone who is in a situation like hers. When someone is down (assuming it wasn't a troll thread) there's no point in hurting them further.

Like I said, there's probably at least one lonely guy in a city of millions who would let her stay with him rent-free for the time being.

That sounds like it could be a horror or porn movie. Or both.

Has anyone suggested pole dancing yet?

Petty crime.

Its gotten me thru the whole summer. LA really is soulless, but its also a paradise that breeds the strongest mindsets in America. Im glad I went homeless here above anywhere else.

Also, pole dance or hook, i doubt they are far from your current state of existence based on how dependent you sound.

Whichever you choose you will be among thousands of others doing the same.

Treasure that car and the nights you get to sleep in it. There are unlicensed/uninsured waiting to wreck you and send you to real homelessness like they did to me. You should also go and get 'general relief' aka cash assistance TOMORROW because its $220 a month, not $100. Give all the trust fund babies and the population of beverly hills something to continue complaining about ��.

Overall respect this city and state because its the best in our nation without question. Ive been to all often. Do that and the city will reciprocate and love u back.

If you need a new boyfriend, PM me. This field is hella comfortable

this OP seems to be the mindset of the current generation. Really weird to those of us who find the strength to pull ourselves up - that is so lacking in the youths. They bawl their eyes our at the drop of a hat. They are in fact a different breed. They seem so delicate.

part of why I changed my party - we really need to fix these people.

I work as a home health care aid from time to time. I have no special training and do what I am told. At times you can find people who want you to live in their home. If you found something like that, it would solve both needing a job and a place to live. I have found jobs through Craigslist, through a page on Facebook that is for my county in Texas and through word of mouth.
